H.R. 2810, National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 1 (July 10, 2017)

handle is hein.congrec/cbo3581 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE COST ESTIMATE July 10, 2017 H.R. 2810 National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 As reported by the House Committee on Armed Services on July 6, 2017 SUMMARY H.R. 2810 would authorize appropriations totaling an estimated $689 billion for the military functions of the Department of Defense (DoD), for certain activities of the Department of Energy (DOE), and for other purposes. In addition, the bill would prescribe personnel strengths for each active-duty and selected-reserve component of the U.S. Armed Forces. CBO estimates that appropriation of the authorized amounts would result in outlays of $669 billion over the 2018-2022 period. If the total amount authorized for 2018 was appropriated, $613.8 billion would count against that year's defense cap set in the Budget Control Act (BCA), as amended; $0.6 billion would count against the nondefense cap for 2018; and $74.6 billion designated for overseas contingency operations would not be constrained by caps. The bill also contains provisions that would affect the costs of defense programs funded through discretionary appropriations in 2019 and future years. Those provisions mainly would affect force structure, compensation and benefits, the military health system, and various procurement programs. CBO has analyzed the costs of a select number of those provisions and estimates that they would, on a net basis, increase the cost of those programs relative to current law by about $80 billion over the 2019-2022 period. The net costs of those provisions in 2019 and beyond are not included in the total amount of outlays mentioned above because funding for those activities would be covered by specific authorizations in future years. Several provisions of H.R. 2810 would have insignificant effects on direct spending and revenues over the 2018-2027 period, primarily as a result of changes to military health care benefits, allowing DoD to dispose of property and use the proceeds from those transactions, and adding a specified offense under the military justice system. CBO estimates that in total the direct spending and revenue effects of enacting the bill would not be significant over the 2018-2027 period. Because enacting the bill would affect direct spending and revenues, pay-as-you-go procedures apply.
